NEW ORLEANS - Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh says he felt elation, devastation and disappointment during and in the moments following a Super Bowl XLVII victory vs. his brother's San Francisco 49ers.

His only regret stems from a scene pictured by television cameras during a 33-minute power outage at the Superdome in which John screams and curses at Mike Kensil, NFL's Vice President of Game Operations, and storms off.

"I way overreacted," he said at his Monday morning press conference at the Super Bowl media center. "It wasn't anything to do with the blackout.

"I was just concerned with some things that had to do with the headsets and coaches in the press box and if we have to bring guys down. It was really stuff that never was gonna be an issue, because they handled it so well. I feel bad about it. It was the one thing that I look back on the game and I'm disappointed in myself about because I didn't have much poise in that moment."

Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, Super Bowl MVP, said after the game that the 49ers lost radio contact with coaches in the booths near the top of the Superdome while the Ravens did not. The issue was resolved, but not before some awkward TV broadcast stalling and perhaps a Super Bowl first: fans doing the wave.

"As we stood there on the field before the game, we kind of came to the conclusion that the only thing that would have been worse was if one of us wasn't there, and the only thing that would've been worse than that was if neither one of us was there," John said. "And it was still pretty tough. The toughest moment of all was walking across the field. If you can imagine, you feel an incredible amount of elation, with an incredible amount of devastation. Those two feelings went hand in hand, and I'm still feeling it."

John, wearing a charcoal gray suit and brown leather shoes, showed no signs of a hangover, if he was feeling one. He said he hasn't spoken to his brother since their postgame handshake at midfield, and he doesn't think they'll ever sit down and watch a replay of the Ravens' 34-31 victory together. Their parents watched the game in Commissioner Roger Goodell's booth in silence, he says.

"Roger just told me they didn't say a word the entire game," John says. "I think it was a great week for them up until kickoff, and then it wasn't so great. And I think they're just happy to move beyond that now. They're proud as can be and they're happy for both of us."
